I tryed the same steps on the 4.# iso and it got me to the console, still could do with a gui
What steps? You also don't state which ISO you used, Core, CorePlus, or Tinycore. Core is for console,
Tinycore is for GUI, and CorePlus will let you install console or GUI plus it offers wireless support.
I don't run 64bit hardware myself, but I think what you need to do is boot one of the ISOs that have
a GUI and do a 32bit install:http://distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux/4.x/x86/release/
Then replace the core and vmlinuz files with their 64bit versions and reboot:http://distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux/4.x/x86/release/distribution_files/
You might also want to use the forums search page for more information on 64bit installs.
